How Could This Happen: Explaining the HolocaustThe Holocaust has long seemed incomprehensible, a monumental crime that beggars our powers of description and explanation. Historians have probed the many sources of this tragedy, but no account has united the various causes into an overarching synthesis that answers the vital question: How was such a nightmare possible in the heart of western civilization? In How Could This Happen, historian Dan McMillan distills the vast body of Holocaust research
The Holocaust has long seemed incomprehensible, a monumental crime that beggars our powers of description and explanation. Historians have probed the many sources of this tragedy, but no account has united the various causes into an overarching synthesis that answers the vital question: How was such a nightmare possible in the heart of western civilization? In How Could This Happen, historian Dan McMillan distills the vast body of Holocaust research into a cogent explanation and comprehensive analysis of the genocide's many causes, revealing how a once-progressive society like Germany could have carried out this crime. The Holocaust, he explains, was caused not by one but by a combination of factors -- from Germany's failure to become a democracy until 1918, to the widespread acceptance of anti-Semitism and scientific racism, to the effects of World War I, which intensified political divisions within the country and drastically lowered the value of human life in the minds of an entire generation. Masterfully synthesizing the myriad causes that led Germany to disaster, McMillan shows why thousands of Germans carried out the genocide while millions watched, with cold indifference, as it enveloped their homeland. Persuasive and compelling, How Could This Happen explains how a perfect storm of bleak circumstances, malevolent ideas, and damaged personalities unleashed history's most terrifying atrocity.Binding Type: Hardcover

Good paper bowls & a great deal.

Strong, soak proof and grease resistant. I was going to order Dixie plates and these popped up and were a better deal.

Perfect Teacher Water Cup for Long School Days
Size: 40 Ounces, Color: Rose Quartz 2.0
As a teacher, I carry this with me constantly, and it’s honestly been one of my most-used purchases. The 40 oz size is great because I can fill it once in the morning and not constantly worry about refilling it throughout the school day.
It keeps water cold for hours, even when it’s sitting in my classroom all day, and the handle makes it much easier to carry along with everything else teachers somehow end up holding. I also like that it fits in my car cup holder despite being large.
The straw lid is convenient for quick sips during class, and the Rose Quartz color is really pretty without being too flashy. The cup feels sturdy and well made, and it’s held up well to daily use.
The only downside is that when completely full, it can feel a little heavy, but that’s expected with a large stainless steel tumbler. Overall though, it’s been incredibly practical for staying hydrated during busy teaching days.
Definitely worth it if you’re someone who’s constantly on the go and wants cold water all day.
